Case Description
My 16 your old needs to have his lingual frenulum released . I see that several dentist offer this service, but none I can find in Houston. Also I see a laser cut can be done to limit infection and recovery time.
Anybody do this locally. I am in Medical Center area if that helps. Thanks

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I am located in Katy area. However, the lingual frenulum released is the easiest surgery (or minor procedure) you can perform. We only charge 300.00 for the work and we use the diode laser. All it take is a diode laser, a hemostat, and a 4.0 gut suture. It is a very easy, five to ten minutes surgery. You need a laser to avoid reconnection of connective tissue fiber and lead to scar tissue formation.
